Manna, Marob 12, 6 50 p m.--The Filipicoa apparently bad planned ao attack upon tbe lines of Gen Otis and Gen Hale this morning, but their courage seemed to fail them, though they fired signals and afterward kept np be fosilade along the American front for an boor. Oar troops, in obedience to orders, refrained from shooting, with the exception of two companies of newly arrived men, who replied nntil they bad suppressed a regiment of Angaioaldo'a Ked brigade. This body of rebels seemed ander better leadership than most of the others, and a white man was seen among the officers endeavoring to lead them to the attack, bot apparently all efforts to indnoe them to leave the trenches were fattie The American authorities in Manila say the city is now so effectively policed that a serions outbreak is impossible. They believe that the natives are cowed. The presence of the families of officers is discouraged, aad many are leafing on board the United States transport, some going to Japan for temporary residence, Gen Otis has remarked : "Manila is no plaee for women. This is a war, not a picnic" The British cruiser Narcissus has sailed for various ports io the island of Loton to take on board British subjects who desire protection. This afternoon the Twentieth and Twenty-second infantry and seven companies of the Oregon volunteers marched to Sao Pedro Maca ti to joio Gen.* Wheaton's new division al brigade which is to consist of the Twentieth and Twenty-second infantry, eight companies of the Washington voluo teers, seven companies of the Oregon volunteers, three troops of cavalry (mounted) and a battalion of light artillery. Although the raia which fell this morning has cooled the temperature to 82 degrees, many drop ped from the rao ks overe me by the beat. Several soldiers were suostruok.io the streets, of Manila this morning. Most of them were men not yet accli mated. Brig Geo. Charles King has; recovered from his indisposition and. resumed command at the Sao Pedro Macati bridge. The enemy are very lotive north of the river, though not ioing any fighting just now. Severe Fighting Renewed. Manila, March 13, 4.50 p. m - Gen *v\ beaton attacked and captured the city of Pasig, east of Manila, this afternoon The enemy made a stand for an hour, but at the end of that time were forced to retreat. STORY OF THE ATTACK. At daylight .today Brig. Gen Lloyd Wheaton's divisional brigade, consisting of the Twentieth United States infantry, the Twenty second infantry, eight companies of the Westlington volunteers, seven com panies of the Oregon volunteers, three troops of the Fourth United Staten cavalry and a mounted bat* tery of the Sixth artillery, was drawn up on a ridge behind San Pedro Macati, a mile oath of the town The advance was sounded at 6.30 a m " the cavalry leading the column at a smart trot, across the open to the right, eventually reaching a clump commanding the rear of Guad alupe.. Supported by the Oregon volon teers the advance force opened a heavy fire on the rebels. The re sponse was feeble and desultory, ap parently coming from handfuls of men in every covert. While the right column was swinging towards the town of Pasig, the eft advanced, pouring volleys into the bush A small body of rebels made a determined stand at Guadalupe church, but tbe enemy was unable to withstand the assault. At 7 30 a ma river gunboat started towards Pasig. The rebels were first encountered by this vessel in the jungle near Guadalupe. Steaming slowly, the gunboat poured a terrific fire from her Gatling guns into the brush. For ail of an hour the whirring of rapid fire guns alter nated with the booming of the heavier pieces on board In the meantime Scott's battery ashore was shelling the trenches and driving the enemy back. The artil lery Iben advanced and met with little opposition lo the meantime the infantry had been sent forward in extended order, the Washington regiment resting on the bank of the river, each regiment deploying on reaching its station and furnishing its own supports. The entire column then wheeled toward the river, driving the enemy toward his supports and then ad vanced on Guadalupe The artillery moved to a ridge commanding Pasig and Parteros. By this time the enemy wae in full flight along a line over a mile long and the firing was discontinued tem porarily, in order to give the troops a rest before making an attack on Pasig. The enemy's loss was believed to be severe, but only eight Americans were wounded. t this stage of the engagement it was raining heavily. A SHORT REST. I Manila, March 13, 7.55 p. m. fter a short rest Gen. Wheaton began th attack on Pasig Scott's battery, supported by two companies of the Twentieth regi ment, advanced on Guadalupe by the road along the river bank, the remainder of the Twentieth regiment and the Twenty-second regiment fol lowed with the reserve of the Oregon volunteers. At ll 30 a. m , tbe column came in contact with the enemy and a gun boat steamed to the firing line and cleared the jungle on both sides, while the battery took up a position on a bl off at the right The first shot of the American field pieces, at 1,200 yards range, dislodged a guu of the enemy at Pasig. After tbe town bad been shelled, the Twentieth regiment lined up on the bluff and the Twenty-second took up a position on the left of the place, with the cavalry in the centre, whereupon the enemy retreated to the town The gunboat then moved into a bend opposite and a hot fire en the rebel position was maintained along the whole American line until 2 20 p. m.,when preparations were made for the attack. At 3 p. m., our gunboat started in pursuit of the enemy's armed tug, passing ber to the lake. At 3.30 p. m., a large body of the enemy was discovered working around, our right fiank and the Twentieth regiment was moved; to .a commanding ridge. The rebels were met opposite Pateros but the enemy bolted. Thirty of the rebels were killed and 16 were taken prisoners, and the Americans lost six men wounded. The whole American line bivouac ed at 5 o'clock. .About 700 rebels were reported to be marching northward a few miles to the southwest. SPANISH GUNBOAT3 SOLD.

Edmonds, of the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record.. Io this toar he visited most of the Southern States East aed West of the Mississippi river The special object in the visit is not stated, bat as Mr. Searles bas be come President of the Ameriean Cotton Company, which ts interested io the establishment of the roaod baling cot ton, we pr same this had something to do with it, the object being io take observations of the cotton fields, the present methods of procedure, baling, marketing, warehouse facilities, etc., in all of which his company is more or less interested, its object being to r volu* lionize the preseot methods. As far as we leam by reading Mr Searles is a mao of close observation, of fine business capacity and bas been remarkably suc cessful io the management of the enter prises with which he bas coooeoted him self, and hence the Sooth bas beeo ooo grataiated upon the faot that be has turned bis attention ito the Soath as ao inviting field for enterprises. On his return borne he was met by a represen tr ti ve of the Baltimore Soo and asked bis impressions of the Sooth as he had seen it oo his tour. After giving his opinion of the climate, natural re sources, etc., SB be bad sees and learn ed of them, be said : "Given these resources, and with a favorable dim ate and a productive soil, both of which the Sooth enjoys, there ought oct to be any limit to the possi ble profitable development of that country. If England could create tts enormous industrial interests, based largely oo imported oottoo aod iroo ore, and spending, as sbe does, about $750,000,000 a year for foodstuffs ; if New England, with but few Daterai advantages, could, by tbe great eoergy of its people and the force of circum stances, build op its marvelous indus '.rial prosperity, based upon imported coal, imported iroo aod imported cotton, what may we not expect of the Sooth DOW that it bas fairly entered upon the broad development of its mineral wealth aod its oottoo aod lamber man a facture ? "A careful study of the business conditions of that whole section, of the spirit of the people, of the splendid progress already made io oottoo manufacturing, of the truly marveioae iroo aod steel making advantages, as illustrated io Birmingham-and re membering chat while Birmingham i.-. necessarily destined to be one of the j world's leading metallurgical cooters, there are many other point? where iroo and steel cao be profitably manufac tured, thos giving assurance of tbe upbuilding of many other iroo cities as the work of development goes oo- ; j remembering all these facts, the I thoughtful student of business condi tions most see that the Sooth has ao exceedingly bright future. "The progress of that section seems to be well rounded, with a steady upbuilding io oottoo aod iroo tn an fae - toriog, aod DOW Birmingham is preparing to take a dominant position io steel-making. The two great steel plaots DOW under construction at j Birmingham will, I understand, cost about $2,500.000 to $3,000,000. As a factor io building op that oity aod io creating diversity of manufacturing interests, these steel works will probably be of more value than everything that Birmingham bas ap to the preseot time accomplished io iroo matters. We found a very marked I activity io cotton mill building, aod io i Alabama learned of the ciosiog of a j oootraot by the Merrimao Manufac turing Company, of Lowell, to build at Huntsville ooo of the largest oottoo mills io che world. This picot, ao I was informed, will have 200,000 spin dles, a bieachery aod print, works and will, I believe, be the first priot works io the Sooth. It will probably cost over $2,500,000. ' Ia all parts of the Sooth che oottoo mills were reported as profitable and crowded with orders Tbe splendid cotton dook mill at Colombia, S. C., is one of the finest mill plaots I have ever eseo, a d its electrical equipment is superior to that of auy mill with which I am familiar io New England. Its general manager stated that it could sell double its preseot output, the demand for its goods coming from all parts of the world. In North Carolina I found that one county had twenty two cotton mills in operation, with five more projected, lo that oouoiy tbe farmers are said to be so prosperous, owing io the looal demand for diversifi ed agricultural products, as to be free from debt, with a good supply of cash to their oredit, their barns filled with corn and their meat bouses with provi sions. "Added to the geoeral industrial advance everywhere noticeable is the very striking progress that is being made in the development of Southern ports. At Galveston, New Orleans, Pensacola, Mobile, Savannah, Norfolk, Newport News and other ports, exten sive enlargements of terminal faoilites, involving a good maoy millions ot dollars, are being made. And at New port News Mr. Huntington's great shipyard, employing about 5,000 bands, bas, I learn, about $20,000,000 of j work under contract. "Looking over the whole situation, as I have tried to do, and appreoiating something of what che Sooth has already accomplished, and what its many advautages are, I am thoroughly ooovinoed that there are great oppar tun i ties io that section for broad aod comprehensive development. The Pmckney Inquest A Verdict Pound by the Jory Yesterday. Tbe Piockaey case is over with as far as the coroner's jory is concerned. This body, wbich has worked oo the evidence obtainable io the matter for about ten days, rendered its verdict yesterday afternoon. The verdict is no surprise in any way, shape cr form. From tbe evideoce presented tbe jurors had no selection in the matter of verdicts, and could give ooly one. The identity of tue person or persons doing the sbootiog bas never been brought to light. The only fact brought out clearly was that Thomas Pinokney, Jr., was shot aod died from the wounds, which were inflicted by unknown parties. The following is the verdict : "Taat the said Thomas Pioekney, Jr., was feloniously killed by gunshot wound or wounds, inflicted on the body or the said Thomas Pioekney, Jr., between tbe hours of 12 m aod ^ a. m ; on 26th day of February, A. ., 1829, on the west side of Pitt Street, a short distance south of Calhoun Street, io the City of Charleston, S. C., by some person or persons to the jury unknown, of which wound, or wounds, the said Thomas Pinokney, Jr , died on February 28, A. D. 1899, at about 1 o'clook a. m. And so the said jurors aforesaid, opoo their oaths aforesaid, do. say that the aforesaid Thomas Piuok ney, Jr., was killed and murdered by some person or persons to the jurors unknown, against the peace and dignity of the State aforesaid." AU agree that the verdict is to accordance with the facts as brought before the jory, bot the conclusion arrived at does not satisfy the people, who want the murderer or murderers of the young man brought to justice. The jury did all it could in the premises, but sufficient facts were ot laid before it.-News and Courier, March 12. Villainira Bones Found Among tbe Coban Bocks. Santiago, Cuba, Maroh 13 -Yester day Gen*. Leonard Wood, governor of the department of Santiago, in the presence of the adjutants general of the department. Col Beacon and Capt. Gilmore ; of Capt. Scott, captain cf the port, and other officers, positively identified the remains of the Spanish officer discovered a few days ago among the rocks on the shore about four miles west of El Morro, as those of Admiral Villamil, who commanded the Spanish torpedo boat destroyers in the naval battle which resulted in the destruction of Admiral Cervera's squad ron. Accompanied by the officers named, and by others. Gen Wood went io a tog to investigate personally as to the truth of the report that the body of a Spanish officer had been found, tied in an arm obair, with ropes around it, a skull bone on the ground and the rag ged remnants of the uniform of a cap tian io tbe Spanish navy. It was evi deot that the buzzards bad, stripped the boo es of flesh. It is understood here-though as to this there is no certainty-that Admiral Villamil was taken ashore from the Pluton in a dying condition.' tied in an arm chair, and tbs supposition is that bodied immediately oo-reaching the shore, the body beiog left abandoned a m oo g the rooks, where it remained undiscovered until a few days ago. Admiral Villamil, it is known, waa wounded in the right arm and the left leg. Gen. Wood put the bones togeth er, showing the unmistakable marks *of wounds in these places. The indenti fi ca ti co was in every respect complete. In the pocket of the coat was found the fleet countersign for June 26, signed by the late Capt. Oviedo y Bastamente, then Admiral Cer vera's chief of staff. Col Beason and Capt. Gilmore car ried tbe arm chair, the tattered uniform and the bones, tied together with a handkerchief of the dead officer and one. of Col. Beaooa to the tug, wbicb lay about four miles off. Tbe identification cansed a sensation among the Spaoiards here as Admiral Villamil was ooe of the best known strategists io the Spanish navy and a man beld in high esteem by his coun trymen. Gen. Wood, through the war depart ment, will notify the secretary of state of the finding of the remains so that they can be removed to Spain, if the Spanish government so desires. Pend ing final disposition, they will be kept at the arsenal here. The tatterek uni form will also be held sobjeot to Spainfs wishes. The arm obair is at present in charge of Capt. Scott The mild but earnest invitation to our delinquent subscr bete, made in these columns a few weeks ago, that they come up and settle without being dunned, has not met with the unani mous response hoped for. Some have paid promptly, but these who have not paid are again requested to do so. We want money, but will take coun try produce of any kind, provided it is sound and in good condition. The full market price will be allowed for everything-poultry, eggs, grain, for age, meat, wood, and even pine-straw^ included. Now is a good time to bring in a load of something while wagons are coming to town to carry back farm supplies.
